David Wilkerson, a young parish priest, travels to New York City to spread the word of God to a group of violent gang members, the Egyptian Kings. Despite initial setbacks, he meets a street youth named Little Bo, who introduces him to the Mau Maus and Bishops, rival gangs fighting for territory. David's goal is to show the gangs that God loves them, regardless of their actions, and guide them towards making better choices. He faces resistance, particularly from Nicky Cruz, a Mau Maus leader who continually threatens him.
